The Champ Car World Series and Champ Car Atlantic Championship return to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for a “Spring Training” event March 7 – 10. The Atlantic Championship will test on Wednesday and Thursday, March 7 and 8, with the Champ Car World Series testing on Friday and Saturday, March 9 and 10.

Saturday, March 10 will be the official Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca “Open House” to wave the green flag on the 50th Anniversary Season at the world-famous circuit. Admission to the facility and paddock during the open house is free, with Champ Car and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca fans to experience autograph sessions, fan forums, and exhibits featuring activities from around Monterey County including car displays, wine tasting, and a tribute to 1957. The day will conclude with a sock hop in the Red Bull Energy Center.

Those wishing to see the Atlantic or the Friday Champ Car session will be able to enter Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca viewing areas for free. A $5 fee will be charged at the gate for admission into the paddock.

The test session is open to all Champ Car and Atlantic teams and will provide fans with one of the few opportunities to see the new DP01 Champ Car chassis prior to the series’ first race of the season in the streets of Las Vegas.
